I hate to bring up Greece because people will be quick to point out it can't happen here. But it damn well can, and deregulating derivatives would be exactly what causes it. It would quite literally bankrupt our economy (like it isnt already). You want $12 a gallon gas? $15? 20? You want commodities like food and water to be so expensive very few can afford them? That's exactly what will happen.
